President Bola Tinubu has described the defection of Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, as a symbol of progress and unity.
President Tinubu, who was represented by his Vice, Kashim Stettima, praised Diri’s leadership style and commitment to development, welcoming him officially into the APC.
“The All Progressives Congress is a party of those who believe that progress can only be guaranteed when we stand together.
“Governor Douye Diri, your story mirrors that of your people. Politics is about development, not noise or opposition.
“We are mightily proud of you. You have made the right decision,” he said.
Tinubu applauded Diri for promoting peace and unity through infrastructural growth across the state, describing Diri’s defection as a homecoming to the progressive family.
